Re: [MLUG] Multithreaded compile using apt?

[Jack Smith <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am using the amd64 version of Debian Lenny. It's what I run on both of
my machines. I need some reliability, so I don't run Sid and I have some
hardware that's not supported under Etch's 2.6.18 kernel. 

I forgot about distcc as I'd used that in the past when I had Gentoo on
my old laptop that was decidedly poky. Distcc's compiler call script
gets the symlink for "/usr/bin/gcc" and g++, but IIRC doesn't it only
distribute as many threads as the program that called gcc/g++ tells it
to? If that is the case, then we're back at square one.
